so i was infodumping about vatborn, as one does, and laying it all out i have come to the conclusion that mogadorians as a whole--vatborn and trueborn both--lean heavily toward varying flavors of autistic. and BOY does it explain a lot

#lorien legacies #mogadorians #LL trueborn #LL vatborn #LL tag #i have a lot a LOT of thoughts in me about this #but a tl;dr is that there are one or two very specific and common flavors of autistic that are held up as neurotypical in their society #and setrákus' angle of attack for manipulating them and getting them under his thumb was to use those common traits as an in #see: rigidity; justice sensitivity; and not being allowed any special interests/hyperfixations but war and cult shit and himself #among other things #and once he was in a position of control he proceeded to build his cult to twist and exaggerate those things in horrible ways #and also encouraged them to be Super Fucking Ableist even moreso than before toward autistics/cousins #who don't fit the Respectable Archetype #see: how they treat vatborn lol #which; as much as they try to act like the vatborn are ~gifted~ with different neurology that makes them Inferior #they are severely limiting the actual ways in which vatborn could contribute effectively beyond just being cannon fodder #because they don't work with their neurotypes because they don't want /vatborn/#they want trueborn who can also be disposable slaves 🙃#so instead of figuring out how to integrate them most effectively they just have to expend most of their efforts #herding vatborn into Doing What They're Supposed To by playing whack-a-mole with their brand of autism when they can't suppress it #and also setrákus is as good as he is at manipulating mogs in particular bc he is ALSO super fucking autistic in ways that line up with #their Standards for the good and acceptable leaderly honorable neurotype. whereas he consistently critfails at convincing non-autistics #to come around to his views or do what he wants. he has no clue how to vibe with allistics lmfao but mogs are fair game #i could go on but yeah i have Thoughts. i have thoughts #ableism cw
